Rooma 7
1 Mise ma waydaan ogayn, walaalayaalow, in sharcigu nin u taliyo intuu nool yahay oo keliya? (Waxaan la hadlayaa dadka sharciga yaqaan.)
Surely, Brothers, you know (for I am speaking to men who know what Law means) that Law has power over a man only as long as he lives.
2 Naagtii nin luhu sharcigay ugu xidhan tahay ninkeeda intuu nool yahay, laakiinse mar haddii ninku dhinto, way ka furan tahay sharcigii ninka.
For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband while he is living; but, if her husband dies, she is set free from the law that bound her to him.
3 Sidaas daraaddeed inta ninkeedu nool yahay, hadday nin kale naag u noqoto, waxaa loogu yeedhi doonaa dhillo, laakiinse ninkeedu hadduu dhinto, sharciga way ka furan tahay, oo sidaas daraaddeed dhillo ma aha in kastoo ay nin kale naag u noqoto.
If, then, during her husband’s lifetime, she unites herself to another man, she will be called an adulteress; but, if her husband dies, the law has no further hold on her, nor, if she unites herself to another man, is she an adulteress.
4 Sidaas daraaddeed, walaalahayow, jidhkii Masiixa baa meyd idinka dhigay xagga sharciga, in mid kale idin lahaado, oo ah kii kuwii dhintay laga sara kiciyey inaynu Ilaah midho u soo bixinno.
And so with you, my Brothers; as far as the Law was concerned, you underwent death in the crucified body of the Christ, so that you might be united to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that our lives might bear fruit for God.
5 Waayo, markii aynu jidhka ku dhex jirnay, damacyadii dembiyada ee sharciga ka yimid waxay ka dhex shaqaynayeen xubnaheenna inay midho u soo bixiyaan dhimasho.
When we were living merely earthly lives, our sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were active in every part of our bodies, with the result that our lives bore fruit for Death.
6 Laakiinse haatan sharcigii waa laynaga furay, innagoo ka dhimannay wixii aynu ku hoos xidhnayn, si aynu ugu adeegno cusaybka ruuxa ee aynaan ugu adeegin gabowga qorniinka.
But now we are set free from the Law, because we are dead to that which once kept us under restraint; and so we serve under new, spiritual conditions, and not under old, written regulations.
7 Haddaba maxaynu nidhaahnaa? Sharcigu ma dembi baa? Ma suurtowdo! Hase ahaatee, dembi ma aanan garteen, sharcigaan ku gartay mooyaane, damaca xun ma aanan garteen haddaan sharcigu i odhan, Waa inaadan wax damcin.
What are we to say, then? That Law and sin are the same thing? Heaven forbid! On the contrary, I should not have learned what sin is, had not it been for Law. If the Law did not say ‘Thou shalt not covet,’ I should not know what it is to covet.
8 Dembigu, isagoo wakhti helay, ayuu amarka dhexdayda kaga falay damac xun oo kasta; waayo, sharciga la'aantiis dembigu waa meyd.
But sin took advantage of the Commandment to arouse in me every form of covetousness, for where there is no consciousness of Law sin shows no sign of life.
9 Waa baan noolaa sharciga la'aantiis, laakiin markii amarku yimid, dembigu waa soo noolaaday, aniguna waan dhintay.
There was a time when I myself, unconscious of Law, was alive; but when the Commandment was brought home to me, sin sprang into life, while I died!
10 Amarkii nolosha ii geeyn lahaa, waxaan gartay inuu dhimasho ii geeynayo.
The very Commandment that should have meant Life I found to result in Death!
11 Waayo, dembigu, isagoo wakhti helay, ayuu amarka igu khiyaaneeyey, wuuna igu dilay.
Sin took advantage of the Commandment to deceive me, and used it to bring about my Death.
12 Haddabase sharcigu waa quduus, amarkuna waa quduus, waana xaq, wuuna wanaagsan yahay.
And so the Law is holy, and each Commandment is also holy, and just, and good.
13 Haddaba wixii wanaagsanaa miyey dhimasho ii noqdeen? Ma suurtowdo! Laakiin dembigu, inuu muuqdo inuu dembi yahay, ayuu wax wanaagsan igaga dhex shaqeeyey oo dhimasho ii keenay, in dembigu amarka ku noqdo dembi miidhan.
Did, then, a thing, which in itself was good, involve Death in my case? Heaven forbid! It was sin that involved Death; so that, by its use of what I regarded as good to bring about my Death, its true nature might appear; and in this way the Commandment showed how intensely sinful sin is.
14 Waayo, waxaynu og nahay in sharcigu ku saabsan yahay ruuxa, laakiinse anigu waxaan ahay mid jidhka raaca oo lagu iibiyey dembiga hoostiisa.
We know that the Law is spiritual, but I am earthly — sold into slavery to Sin.
15 Waayo, waxaan samaynayo garan maayo, maxaa yeelay, ma sameeyo wixii aan doonayo, laakiin waxaan sameeyaa wixii aan necbahay.
I do not understand my own actions. For I am so far from habitually doing what I want to do, that I find myself doing the very thing that I hate.
16 Laakiin haddaan sameeyo waxa aanan doonayn, de markaas waxaan gartay in sharcigu wanaagsan yahay.
But when I do what I want not to do, I am admitting that the Law is right.
17 Haddabase haatan ma aha aniga kan waxaas sameeyaa, laakiinse waa dembiga igu dhex jira.
This being so, the action is no longer my own, but that of Sin which is within me.
18 Waayo, waan ogahay inaan wax wanaagsanu igu dhex jirin, taas waxaan ula jeedaa, jidhkayga wax wanaagsanu kuma jiraan, waayo, waan ku talo jiraa inaan waxa wanaagsan sameeyo, laakiin ma sameeyo.
I know that there is nothing good in me — I mean in my earthly nature. For, although it is easy for me to want to do right, to act rightly is not easy.
19 Waayo, waxa wanaagsan oo aan doonayo inaan falo, ma sameeyo, laakiinse waxa sharka ah oo aanan doonayn inaan falo, ayaan sameeyaa.
I fail to do the good thing that I want to do, but the bad thing that I want not to do — that I habitually do.
20 Laakiin haddaan sameeyo wixii aanan doonayn inaan falo, de haatan ma aha aniga kan sameeyaa, laakiinse waa dembiga igu dhex jira.
But, when I do the very thing that I want not to do, the action is no longer my own, but that of Sin which is within me.
21 Haddee waxaan arkaa qaynuunka in shar ila jiro in kastoo aan doonayo inaan waxa wanaagsan sameeyo.
This, then, is the law that I find — when I want to do right, wrong presents itself!
22 Waayo, sharciga Ilaah ayaan kaga farxaa ninka gudaha ah.
At heart I delight in the Law of God;
23 Laakiin waxaan xubnahayga ka arkaa qaynuun kale, isagoo la dagaallamaya qaynuunka maankayga oo maxbuus iiga dhigaya qaynuunka dembiga oo xubnahayga ku jira.
but throughout my body I see a different law, one which is in conflict with the law accepted by my reason, and which endeavours to make me a prisoner to that law of Sin which exists throughout my body.
24 Nin belaysan baan ahay. Yaa iga furan doona jidhkan dhimashada leh?
Miserable man that I am! Who will deliver me from the body that is bringing me to this Death?
25 Waxaan Ilaah ugu mahadnaqayaa inuu Rabbigeen Ciise Masiix igu furan doono. Sidaas daraaddeed aniga qudhaydu waxaan maankayga ugu adeegaa sharciga Ilaah; laakiinse waxaan jidhka ugu adeegaa qaynuunka dembiga.
Thank God, there is deliverance through Jesus Christ, our Lord! Well then, for myself, with my reason I serve the Law of God, but with my earthly nature the Law of Sin.
